You must have been raised in the south east...Perhaps Kentucky or Tenn? Or there about.
My Mama and Daddy were born in east Tennessee, but I grew up in Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, and later here in God’s country.
I came back to my roots, and love it here.
Both my grandfathers were coal miners, and I have deep roots in the Appalachians, in the mountains. My Daddy was born in Harlan County, KY, my Mama in a coal mining town in Virginia.
I moved back here in the early 1990s. When I was 18 years (in the 1970s) old. I came to live with a grandmother, married a hillbilly, stayed nine years.
Then I left and moved to Louisiana for years, went to college, experienced far different worlds, but always wanted to come home, and here I am. I live on the KY/TN border now, a beautiful place.
